Showbiz Legend Milton Berle, 92, has a small tumor in his colon but, with his doctors' approval, will not undergo surgery, reports Variety. The comic's wife, Lorna, told columnist Army Archerd that Uncle Miltie is "in no pain, and he is living his life with incredible sprits." Though he uses a wheelchair due to weakened legs, Berle, says his wife, "gets a kick out of sailing into restaurants in it."
